Infinite Athlete is a U.S.-based sports data technology firm located in San Francisco, California. Created through the unification of Biocore and Tempus Ex Machina, it specializes in consolidating data streams, delivering visualization solutions, and providing integrated player tracking systems. Its clientele features prominent organizations such as the National Football League, Chelsea F.C., and the NCAA's Pac-12 Conference.
Tempus Ex Machina
Tempus Ex Machina was established in 2021 by Charlie Ebersol, alongside former Alliance of American Football CTO Erik Schwartz and COO Annie Gerhart. The startup attracted funding from notable investors including Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Silver Lake, Endeavor, and Will Ventures.
Its initial significant contract involved delivering real-time data monitoring services to the National Football League.
By March 2022, Tempus Ex had formed a collaboration with the Pac-12 Conference to offer on-site data collection and analytical support tailored for collegiate athletic programs.
In August 2022, Tempus Ex partnered with the Pac-12 and NIL marketplace platforms such as Opendorse, Curastory, and Twitter, facilitating football athletes’ ability to monetize highlight clips on social media channels.
April 2023 marked Tempus Ex’s seven-year agreement with Chelsea FC to incorporate data capture and visualization technologies into live matches, player management systems, and the club’s mobile application. Concurrently, a comparable partnership was established with the University of Colorado’s athletics department.
Biocore
Located in Virginia, Biocore functions as a biomechanics consultancy and research organization focusing on data analytics. It supports both the NFL and NFLPA through studies examining how equipment and playing surfaces affect athlete health.
The firm’s evaluations of artificial turf reveal a higher incidence of lower limb injuries compared to natural grass. Additionally, Biocore has demonstrated that protective devices like the Guardian Cap can mitigate impacts and reduce concussion risks. Their research contributed to the introduction of position-specific helmets—designed separately for quarterbacks and linemen—that debuted in the 2023 NFL season.
Merger
In August 2023, Tempus Ex Machina acquired Biocore and rebranded itself as Infinite Athlete. Shortly thereafter, the combined company announced its inaugural collaboration with TGL, securing a multi-year deal to embed Tempus Ex Machina’s FusionFeed technology within the golf league’s operations.
